I bought it last month for backup my laptop. This SSD is very fast as expected, very handy and very strong .

Has helped streamline my photography workflow to upload photos from memory card to SDD. Is blazing fast to browse/organize and edit off of. I like that it has a rubberized exterior layer. Seems like it holds up well to jostles and being thrown around in a camera bag w/ no problem. Nice that it also included a USB-C data transfer cable as well as a USB-C to USB-A adapter. Overall satisfied with my purchase.

Initially, I was really happy with my purchase - sizable storage capacity, fast, and small form factor, all-in-one. I was planning to partition it and use it for both storing files and backing up my MacBook Pro. However, as I've since learned, this product from SanDisk was very shoddily put together, with poor quality components, etc. Another reviewer, Duped, mentioned an Ars Technica article entitled, SanDisk’s silence deafens as high-profile users say Extreme SSDs still broken, from August 8, 2023. I highly recommend everyone to read that article, as well as another article from Ars Technica titled "SanDisk Extreme SSDs are “worthless,” multiple lawsuits against WD say." The second article lists the "few" drive models that Western Digital, themselves, admitted are faulty:
SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB (SDSSDE61-4T00)
SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 4TB (SDSSDE81-4T00)
SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 2TB (SDSSDE81-2T00)
SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable 1TB (SDSSDE81-1T00)
Western Digital My Passport 4TB (WDBAGF0040BGY).
This item is the first one on the list (SanDisk Extreme Portable 4TB (SDSSDE61-4T00)). I wish I had known about these issues then since i would have returned it immediately.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. However, please be informed that the latest SanDisk Extreme Portable SSDs come with the updated firmware on them. For further assistance please submit a support ticket at https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb.

Excellent, fast and easy to use. Would definitely recommend.

We use these drives for all of our film production needs. We do a lot of travel shoots and these are very compact and very sturdy. We fly with them and ship them across the country and haven't had any issues yet. We are putting a lot of valuable, irreplaceable content on each of these and they haven't let us down (or made us re-shoot an entire project, thankfully). They feel a bit pricey when you start buying them weekly but they seem to be worth it.
